Lindsay's Birthday

Momma, 

Today is Lindsay's 23rd birthday! She had to work today so we didn't do much except for church and dinner. We went to this new restaurant on Carlisle Pike. Last night we went to see the Harrisburg Heat game. We also did that last year for her birthday but you weren't feeling too well so you stayed home. We got her two birthday cakes this year! I hope that she knows that you love her today and every day. We loved you so much and miss you all the time! 

Love, 
Kelsey

P.S. Ask God to turn the temperature up outside! Please!

The Year of Running

Hello World, It's me, Kelsey. I don't actually have a plan for this post but I should start by being honest...today's day is actually February 23, 2015. This post is time-stamped back in December but I haven't gotten around to writing it yet. Today's date is significant though...exactly one year ago today I was chasing that Princess Half dream, 13.1 miles down the road. So today seems like a good day to write about my year of running. To get a clear picture of how this year of running came to be we should time travel back to June 11, 2013. The day that registration opened for the 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon. A number of my friends and I had decided that we were going to do this. My phone reminded me all week that registration would open on June 11. When that day came, I was completely terrified. I knew I wanted to do it but the reality of it was that I really had never run more than 3-4 miles...ever. I held my breath, typed in my credit card information and h

The Hurt & The Healer

I borrowed that title from a MercyMe song. Everyone is talking about the healing that needs to take place in my heart. I have no idea what that even means. I'm not exactly sure how to identify a "broken heart". My heart is sad in ways I just can't describe. My heart is sad about little things and big things. My heart is sad because I miss my mommy. However, I don't think it's broken. You see, Jesus is in my heart and so I feel as though it can't be "broken". Without this Savior, I wouldn't have the assurance that I will see her again in heaven. I wouldn't have hope that someday my heart will be filled with more joy than sadness (like it was before). I am so thankful that I don't have to know that kind of broken heart. I am sad everyday. I wish that I didn't have to be sad and so that is what I am working toward. I'll never be able to forget about her so I can't really see how I will ever not be sad like I am right now.

Momma's Day

It's Mother's Day here on Earth. Or maybe just in the US, since according to my daily planner, Mother's Day in Mexico was this past Friday. I pray that my momma will feel my love today. And everyday. I didn't get her a present this year, which wouldn't really come as a surprise to her because I always fell short in the present giving arena. Last year I bought her a card approximately 30 minutes before I was to meet up with my family for brunch. She loved me anyway. Moms are so good at that. Even though I messed up a lot, which is an extreme understatement, she kept loving me anyway. A few of my friends do that too. I can't quite understand why but I thank God for them just the same. I hope that if you are reading this, you will be encouraged to give your momma a big hug! I wish that I could give my momma just one more hug. It's kind of like when you have to say goodbye to someone and you say "just one more hug, I promise!" I wish I could have that
